i would have thought that surely the owner would have accounted for the cost of cleaning/maintenance in the monthly rent from the start of your taking it on, personally i dont think that it is down to you to have to cover for an increase, if the case, of cost of maintenance for the building/com areas,
if they said the they were putting up the rent then i would think they can do that without any explanation?
their will be other users who will be able to help/advise more im sure, good luck
